Grating, the Al Gore of his time
Yes, there's something tinny about John Denver singing about nature. He comes off like Al Gore lecturing on global warming while living high on the hog in an energy-wasting mansion. I wonder how Denver got to his concerts around the globe? In a carved-out redwood? How did those thousands of fans make it to the arena? By windsurfing? How was the energy produced to amplify his guitar? How was the wealth created for his fans to have disposable income for concerts? Don't RCA's record factories produce waste? It's fine to carp about the smog in Los Angeles. But that smog was created by the industrial society that allowed Denver to have his career. Worshipping nature while being serviced by dirty civilization down below is, well, Al Gore-like. Was a Denver a knowing hypocrite? Or just another naive folkie-hippie? Just once, it would have been nice for Denver to mock his sincerity. Just once, blurt out how much you hate whales and dandelions--and up with nuclear reactors! Now that would have been as refreshing as the cool, clean waters of the Rocky Mountains.

Feel good music
I was inspired to buy this CD because of my brother. He would call me on the phone just excited to be alive after hearing John's music. Mind you, he is a successful business guy who grew up listening to the Stones, Black Sabbath and good old Rock n Roll, but for some reason the sounds of John Denver called and he answered. Now, so have I. After hearing " I'm Leavin On a Jet Plane..don't know when I'll be back again" I was sucked in and I felt my spirits lift.

John Denver's soft and light lyrics continue to dance in our hearts and lift our moods. This CD has all great hits that we remember. Sunshine on my shoulders (makes me happy), Annies song, Calypso, Fly away...you won't go wrong with this collection of John Denver's greats. I understand his music more now, than I ever have before. He was good to his core, and his music reflects who he was. A must own for a collection of any genre'.

Denver Collection Lives Up to Title
Wonderful collection for anyone who wants the best of John Denver's many hits. I recently went to a John Denver review show with a friend and was reminded how touching and inspirational his music can be. Was going to pull a few songs off of iTunes, but decided my money was better spent on this collection. Was not dissappointed.

Music to share with new generations
My Granddaughter heard Calypso when she was in the car with me. Now she's addicted to John Denver songs!

After all, how many of today's musical artists sing, "Come let me love you, let me give my life to you...Let me drown in your Passion; let me die in your arms"...

Superb CD Great American Poet
I have always loved John Denver but didnt own a substantial collection until now. This CD had every song that we all love and some that were less known but still as wonderful. Glad That I purchased it, would Recommend it to everyone
